It really doesn't. I honestly cannot see any correlation whatsoever. -Ralph So a red car with a flame deco doesn't make you think Hot Rod? As in a line of 4 Hot Rod customised cars, yes. As in the character of Hot Rod, no. Anyway Electro. I prefer the car mode and the robot mode despite being odd I just like. Its odd really because Volt is pretty much the exact style I like for robot mode. I'm scared to find out what state Electro is in.

I am torn. I think Volt is probably the better looking toy, but I cannot endorse Phil's latest Mad Theory.

So a red car with a flame deco doesn't make you think Hot Rod? A red car with a flame deco makes me think of red Tracks from the 1985 back-of-the-box art. A pink car with a flame deco would make me think of Hot Rod. I like there being a Decepticon Hot Rod toy. Very Aspects-of-Evil/Unicron-possessiony. Martin

<looks at voters> I think we can tell who wants a pile of gold plastic dust! It was I. Used to have that toy and never had any problems with it. -Ralph I'm with Ralph here - never had any issues with it. Good toy.

Only thing that's gone wrong with it is the elastic stretchy bit between the legs has gone, making it a bit floppy so it can't stand upright anymore. Strangely, I found my Electro toy is in a very similar condition, fnar fnar!

Well that's confusing. Why is he called DOTM Hot Rod when he was in The Last Knight? The French one?

I don't remember DOTM Rodders having a personality. He wasn't in DOTM, but there was a DOTM toy. He was a minor character in The Last Knight, the smallness of his role making him less annoying than the hero of the animated movie. He had a gun that froze time, and helped Bumblebee fight the Nazis in WWII. Martin

He totally had a personality in the Last Knight. He had a French accent and was there. What more is needed!!?? Anymore, and he would have broken the realm of realities and people would forget it was just a movie and that he exists in out world.

A tie!!!!! What is wrong with you people? One has a hole in the middle of his legs and permanently transforms into a pile of gold dust, the other resembles a classic Autobot hero!!!!!!!!!!! I despair sometimes, I really do....

But Fireball! Fireball! What a superb figure! With his amazing car mode, I'll take him out to dinner!

Shockprowl: We're about to enter a run of some of the greatest TFs EVER.
Pure gold for the next five weeks or so.
Again, these two are gang moulded with each other: the clear plastic, pale grey and the odd dark grey/green (??) used for the upper legs, fists and heads are the same on both toys

He's like a car driven by a Munster So I guess he's quite a funster.
This Hot Rod also has flames on chest Does this mean classic Rod gone west? To the side of evil like a weevil The hot pink is nice even if it give my eye twinges but at least he doesn't have to peer over his hinges

Whilst Hotrod is the first, true bearer of that name - on account of actually turning into a hot rod - the Dragula homage just slams.

It's not Hot Rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His labelling as such is very slipshod! Someone thought using that name would be flashy But to me its just Hashi Bashi!!!!!
(That's you're one for the week, don't say I don't make an effort!)

You are correct in that it is not Autobot Hot Rod, Therefore to say it is the same is cod. Two different characters, Phil's mind is whackers.
